Real Madrid Blocks Brahim Díaz from Representing Morocco at Olympics

Brahim Díaz will not participate in the Olympic football tournament (July 24-August 9) with the Moroccan Olympic national team. His club Real Madrid refuses to release him while the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) wanted to include the Moroccan striker in the Olympic national team. The Spanish club prefers that its players rest before the start of preparations for next season, which will take place in the United States.

Bad news therefore for Tarik Sektioui, coach of the Moroccan Olympic team, who wishes to benefit from the services of Brahim Díaz, under 24 years old, as well as other players. However, he will be able to count on the Moroccan right-back Achraf Hakimi whose coach Luis Enrique has given his approval.

It should be noted that FIFA does not oblige any club to release its players to participate in the Olympics with their national teams.
